Controls Design Engineer (EPMS), Electrical Power Monitoring System in London

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

The AWS Data Center Global Services team is looking for an exceptional individual to contribute to the Controls & Technology organization by joining the Controls Design Engineering team (CDE). The CDE primary responsibility is to track, document, communicate and enhance global data center design standards with a focus on control, automation and electrical power monitoring systems.

The ideal candidate will need a wide-ranging background in data center environmental controls systems, IT infrastructure, networking, mechanical facility operations, electrical power monitoring, project management and strong leadership skills.

The CDE team provides Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) design coordination globally. The team’s goal is to deliver consistent standards for data centre controls systems, as well as overall mechanical and electrical design practices.

Key job responsibilities:

• Knowledge of EPMS programming and design, Modbus communication protocol, electrical distribution systems, single-line diagrams, complex electrical concepts, and data center redundancy.
• Review MEP drawings with a focus on electrical drawing sets for EPMS design content.
• Create EPMS scopes of work (SOW), provide RFI support, and review technical vendor proposals during bid review process.
• Coordinate with each regional project manager to review and finalize project SOWs.
• Review electrical Long Lead Equipment (LLE) submittals to ensure EPMS scope is captured.
• Attend Factory Witness Tests (FWTs) and Equipment Qualification Tests (EQTs) to perform EPMS point validation and test EPMS device functionality on first of kind electrical equipment.
• Create, update, and maintain controls points list and specifications, EPMS drawing templates, Basis of Design (BOD) documentation, and project specific SOW documents.
• Develop and disseminate specification documents for global projects.
• Lead and facilitate collaboration with multiple teams including construction, programmers, MEP/ACS engineers, and team managers as necessary to accomplish initiative goals.
• Manage and prioritize requests for information on new construction builds, existing site facilities support, and legacy site enhancement projects.
• Serve as central point of contact for multiple internal and external groups regarding EPMS design standards.
• Drive innovation of new solutions to support initiatives, team, and company goals.
• Interaction with AWS cloud services and other applications to present, archive and analyze accumulated data.
• Anticipate roadblocks and risks while providing escalation management.
• Travel globally as needed to manage and support project initiatives.
